Centre for Clinical Education
The Centre for Clinical Education is home to academic staff involved in the delivery of the Medical, Physician Associate and Clinical Pharmacology programmes at City St George's, School of Health & Medical Sciences (Tooting). The Centre is comprised of over 100 academic staff and the associated professional services staff. The team of academic staff fall into eight management sections with a collaborative networked approach of working within the sections.
What we do
Together, we aim to deliver a quality assured Clinical Education that produces practitioners with outstanding clinical and communication skills who can flourish in a multi-professional workplace in the UK and internationally.
All academic staff are involved in the values-based recruitment of students who come from a diverse pool of applicants including humanities graduates for our medical programme. All staff in the centre are also involved in personal tutoring of students and their assessments. The academic teams develop and review all elements of their programmes within each section to ensure that what we are delivering is current and evidence based, using new technologies where possible.
We have a rigorous and robust quality assurance process to ensure that we are able to optimise student experience on clinical placements. We have an embedded process for recognising excellence in teaching and encourage staff to develop their educational portfolios throughout their careers by regular appraisal and peer review.
